The weekend concluded with the 1.30 m Gold Tour, an accumulator competition with increasing difficulty.
In this event, riders earned a number of points equal to the obstacle’s number; however, no points were awarded for knockdowns. The final jump of the course was an optional oxer worth ten points, or the taller vertical joker worth twenty points. However, the greater reward also came with greater risk, as a fault on the joker jump resulted in a twenty-point deduction.
Six riders managed to score the maximum 65 points, and all of them rode into the awards ceremony. Following her Saturday’s victory Nóra Kámán once again took first place on her Hungarian sport horse mare, Hedda.
Emma Bachl secured another valuable second-place finish, this time riding Classic White 2.
Third place went to Milena Petersen of Mexico on De Cima Quitta D Houtem.
Robert Fekar, a member of the jury, congratulated the riders. The total prize money for the event presented by the National Institute for Sports Development and Methodology was €1,500.
